I have actually yet to come across someone on here that has mapped their 16 pads on their knotrol 49 with the drum rack...without any problems..I think they ve made it very complicated to map the drum rack...I originally thought that it would be mapped like everything else..oh how i wish

sure there are good things coming for K49 users. i've got a set of tools im working on which might be interesting, all to do with the K49 Native Mode. If you are a K49 owner and are interested in things like Reaktor, Max/MSP, OSC and LiveAPI (and dont mind testing unfinished software) then drop me a PM.

yeah totally! I'm using the microkontrol, which should work the same as the kontrol49. make sure you have 7.02, and make sure you "dump" the new patch from the Live Preferences onto your Kontrol, it'll give you 16 pads that will always correspond to the drumrack.

Just highlight a drum rack, then open your preferences. Toggle you "track" switch for every input that has to do with the K49. Eventually it should work. And yes, you have to "dump" first and then press exit on the K49.
